"Industry sales in November picked up after Thanksgiving, contributing
to the best sales pace of the year," said Bill Fay, Toyota division group
vice president and general manager. "Showroom traffic surged over the
holiday weekend for Toyota, indicating good momentum that we expect to
continue through the end of the year and into 2014."

Lexus reported November sales of 25,611 units, an 8.4 percent increase
on a DSR basis and a 12.7 percent increase on a raw volume basis, both
year-over-year.

"December is traditionally one of the best sales months of the year for
luxury car brands, and we're off to an early start with sales up 35 percent
over the Thanksgiving weekend," said Jeff Bracken, Lexus group vice
president and general manager. "With great product availability and
financing options, Lexus dealers are positioned with the best programs of
the year."
